Jesus has entered Jerusalem on Sunday
In triumph and to shouts of Hosanna.
Today he visits the temple.
The holiest place in Jerusalem.
The holiest place in Israel.
There he finds moneychangers.
There he finds dealers of animals and doves.
There Jesus becomes angry.
There with whip of cords in hand
He drives
The moneychangers
And
The dealers from the temple.
In God's temple
There is no place for commerce.
Commerce must bow to God.
There he finds moneychangers.
There he finds dealers of animals and doves.
There Jesus becomes angry.
There with whip of cords in hand
He drives
The moneychangers
And
The dealers from the temple.
In God's temple
There is no place for commerce.
Commerce must bow to God.
As we seek greater wealth,
Do we put commerce before God?
